Botched Cube Scenario

I seem to be the only one confused about the facts of the situation. You wrote:

Eventually, things are looking good for Player B and he doubles. And I don’t mean Re-doubles. It’s a genuine oversight and, perhaps because of distraction with a waiter bringing drinks, whatever, Player B accepts the cube on 2

Do you mean that Player A accepts the cube on 2? If B is doubling then isn't A the one who is accepting?

Player B then rolls a poor number, and right away Player A realizes that the cube should be on 4 since it was a re-cube and asserts that the cube should be turned over to 4

To make sure I follow, Player A owns a cube at this point; it's on 2 but he realizes that it should be on 4. Right?

which of course he’s all too happy to do, since A rolled a poor follow-up and B is now the favorite in the position.

I can see why A would be happy to have the cube on 4 because Player B just rolled a poor number, but your explanation here is that A is happy to have the cube on 4 since A rolled a poor follow-up. Why would A be happy to have the cube value higher if he rolled a poor follow-up?

But then, perhaps A would not have doubled at all had he realized he already owned the cube.

Wait, A is doubling? Do you mean B? I'm totally mixed up.
